This has to be one of the most challenging things I have ever done since I had not attempted to make armor before and Lin turned to be a little bit more difficult than I originally expected, mostly because I wanted to make sure the torso had proper curves and didn't look boxy. There are a couple of things that I wish I could change but overall it has been a very very interesting coughandfrustratingcough experience and I have learned a lot from it as a cosplayer. I am very motivated to work on armor now and not quite as daunted. I don't think I will ever back out of a cosplay because I simply think armor will be too difficult - this cosplay has taught me the importance of perseverance and stubbornness at times.
